May all of your days shine brightly And your nights blessed with peace
Wherever you lay down to sleep And all things are made good
For those who believe May you grow from a seed Into a strong, fruitful tree
* As the days unfold Hold your breath to see Life is a mystery
And joy, it is severe When the way is rough and steep
But love will make your days complete
And may the work of your hands help those in need
Befriend the lonely, serve the weak And forgive enemies
And if you find true love, one day marry Bear a child from your seed Help it to grow into a tree
